GOD AND WORK




Do you like to work
Do you
Have a GOOD work ethic


NOW a days
Not only do we have jobs
But we have CAREERS
That we specialize in


It may SURPRISE you
To know
That God
Has a LOT to say
ABOUT WORK


First off he says
Do your work IN SIX DAYS


“Six days do your work
But on the seventh day
DO NOT WORK” Exodus 23:12


After ALL
GOD CREATED the world in six days
And on the seventh day
He RESTED


These days
I do NOT work for money
BUT nevertheless
I consider the work
That I do
Very important


Perhaps more important
Than when I worked for a career


I am working for the LORD
In fact, Jesus considered HIS MISSION AS WORK


“As long as it is day
WE MUST do the work of HIM
Who sent me


Night is coming
When no one can work


WHILE I AM
in the world
I am
THE LIGHT of the world” John 9:4-5


And we
Should have the SAME WORK ETHIC
That Jesus did


Though we
MAY NOT be the light
Of the world


We may be
The ONLY LIGHT OF GOD
That some people
May see


And whatever work
That we do
We should do it well
We should
Have PRIDE in our work
Even if
It is just sweeping floors


And ALWAYS know
That God wants you
To be HAPPY in your work


“MOREOVER
When God gives any man
Wealth and possessions
And enables him
To enjoy them
To accept his lot
And be HAPPY in his work-
This is a GIFT OF GOD” Ecclesiastes 5:19


And KNOW
That whatever God began in you
He WILL carry it on to completion


God will NEVER forget you
And neither will I


BE HAPPY
In your work
WHETHER it is
THE WORK OF GOD
OR the work of your career
(or BOTH)


BE HAPPY
And do it
To the BEST of your ability


“I THANK my God
Every time I REMEMBER you


In ALL my prayers
For ALL of you
I ALWAYS pray
With JOY
Because of your partnership
In the gospel
From the first day
Until now


BEING CONFIDENT OF THIS


That he WHO BEGAN
A GOOD work in you
Will carry it on To completion
UNTIL the day of Christ Jesus” Philippians 1:3-6


Until then
BE HAPPY-and do GOOD WORK
